That's my mate Kolly, he's a comedian and was obviously either on his way home from a late gig or on the way to an early one. The only way to tell is to check if he had his 'sea legs'. Anyway his schtick is to combine the demeanour of Larry Grayson and an obsession with Prince (the purple hair) all wrapped up in pirate lingo and references. His stage name is Cap'n I Kidd You Not. "I was part of the armada, you know, sorted out that so-called 'King' of Spain, he didn't have such a purple reign after I got through with him I can tell you" "And that Blacbeard, Edward Teach. Taught me a few things I can tell you. Nothing compared to him". "Don't talk to me about that so-called Long John Silver, what a disappointment. He might have had a dirty mind but afterwards I was as sick as Cap'n Flint". "And as for that Nelson, ooh he was a bold one. Kiss me HARDY he told me. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IF YOU DON'T MIND. Not even if I was your girlfriend, I told him. Cheeky beggar" "Jack Sparrow, don't you talk to me about Mr Jack Sparrow. Greedy swab, won't share. We're not on speaking terms. The last thing I said to him was 'you got the look-out last time'" "Life's full of let downs though. Me and Captain Blood could have made a go of it, if he wasn't so fixated on his mother. I could never take the place of his mam". Just a flavour of his act. Go and see him next time he does a venue near you. Mention my name and a decent 'seaman' innuendo and you get ten percent off the price of entry. Missus.
